Pittsburgh police are actively searching for Larry Pappy Johnson, a suspect wanted in connection with a sexual assault that occurred in the city’s South Side neighborhood. The incident, which took place on or around August 18, 2026, involves the alleged rape of an unconscious woman. According to investigators, surveillance footage captures Johnson dragging the victim into a parking lot off South 14th Street, raping her, stealing her purse, and leaving her naked at the scene. The victim reportedly recalls having a drink before waking up in a hospital with little memory of the intervening hours. Despite being on the run, Johnson has allegedly maintained a low profile by posting videos of himself singing and dancing on social media over the last 24 hours. Police attempted to contact Johnson by phone, receiving either denial or silence from individuals answering the line. Authorities have also noted Johnson’s prior criminal history, including a 2019 attempted homicide charge related to a stabbing in the same South Side area. In response to the incident, local leadership, including the district attorney, police chief, and mayor, are scheduled to meet to discuss community safety concerns. Police have not yet released a mug shot of Johnson, citing administrative protocols, but are urging the public to remain vigilant. Residents are encouraged to report any information regarding Johnson’s whereabouts to the Pittsburgh Police Department. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities continue to seek Johnson’s apprehension to bring him to justice for the alleged crimes.
